Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi has been linked with a move to the Premier League

The 22-year-old, who has scored 24 goals this season, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League with Spurs and West Ham being credited with interest.

Batshuayi only signed a new contract with the French side in January, which lasts until 2020, but he is expected to leave Marseille at the end of the season after caretaker boss Franck Passi confirmed he will not be at the club next season.

And Football Insider claim a potential move to White Hart Lane could be on the cards after Mitchell, Spurs' head of recruitment, gave Mauricio Pochettino's side his approval for a bid to be submitted for the Belgium international later in the summer.

This comes after Mitchell observed Batshuayi's performance in Marseille's 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in last Saturday's Coupe de France final at the Stade de France.

It is claimed a bid will not be made for the striker until after Euro 2016 as Spurs look to continue monitoring his progress during the summer tournament.
